    <p>I'm having a spot of trouble getting my python classes to work within the python console. I want to automatically import all of my classes into the global namespace so I can use them without any prefix.module.names.</p> <p>Here's what I've got so far...</p> <pre><code>projectname/ |-__init__.py | |-main_stuff/ |-__init__.py |-main1.py |-main2.py | |-other_stuff/ |-__init__.py |-other1.py |-other2.py </code></pre> <p>Each file defines a class of the same name, e.g. main1.py will define a class called Main1.</p> <p>My <code>PYTHONPATH</code> is the absolute path to projectname/.</p> <p>I've got a python startup file that contains this:</p> <pre><code>from projectname import * </code></pre> <p>But this doesn't let me use my classes at all. Upon starting a python console I would like to be able to write:</p> <pre><code>ob=Main1() </code></pre> <p>but Main1 isn't within the current namespace, so it doesn't work.</p> <p>I tried adding things to the <code>__init__.py</code> files...</p> <p>In <code>projectname/__init__.py</code>:</p> <pre><code>import main_stuff </code></pre> <p>In <code>projectname/main_stuff/__init__.py</code>:</p> <pre><code>import other_stuff __all__ = ["main1", "main2", "main3"] </code></pre> <p>And so on. And in my startup file I added:</p> <pre><code>from projectname.main_stuff import * from projectname.main_stuff/other_stuff import * </code></pre> <p>But to use the classes within the python console I still have to write:</p> <pre><code>ob=main1.Main1() </code></pre> <p>I'd prefer not to need the <code>main1.</code> part. Does anyone know how I can automatically put my classes in the global namespace when using the python console?</p> <p>Thanks. </p> <p>==== EDIT ====</p> <p>What I need is to import a package at the class level, but <code>from package import *</code> gives me everything at the module level. I'm after an easy way of doing something like this:</p> <pre><code>for module in package do: from package.module import * </code></pre> <p>==== ANOTHER EDIT ====</p> <p>I ended up adding the class imports to my python startup file individually. It's not ideal because of the overhead of maintaining it, but it does what I want.</p> <pre><code>from class1.py import Class1 from class2.py import Class2 from class3.py import Class3 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
